There is no love sincerer than the love of food.
— Bernard Shaw, Man and Superman

 

We study the neurobiology of motivated behavior.

What controls our hunger levels? How do we know when we are full? And why do we keep going back for more potato chips or another slice of cake - even when we are not hungry? The Alhadeff Lab investigates the basic neuroscience underlying food intake, and the gut-brain communication that mediates this behavior as well as other motivated behaviors like drinking alcohol and drug seeking.
